A few years back, I had the honor of sitting down with Jesse Cole also known as the Yellow Tux guy, owner of the Savannah Georgia Baseball Team known as The Savannah Bananas, author of the book "Find Your Yellow Tux" and host of the Business Done Differently podcast. We talked about the best way to skyrocket your business' success, ways to make your story worth sharing, many different ways to enhance your client experience, and how to maintain relevancy to create ranting raving fans who keep coming back for more! Jesse has explosive positivity and excitement and is also humble and grateful. This was an incredibly valuable and impactful conversation for me - I hope you enjoy it just as much as I did. One of my favorite quotes from Jesse in our conversation is “Be patient in what you want for yourself, but be impatient in how much you give to others.” Listen in on my conversation with Jesse Cole!

Jesse Cole is the founder of Fans First Entertainment and is the owner of the Savannah Bananas. Jesse really enjoys talking about leadership, culture, and what it takes to build something special. And what he's built with the Savannah Bananas is just that. It's very unique, and what he's building is fascinating. His teams have welcomed more than 1 million fans to their ballparks, and have been featured on MSNBC, CNN, ESPN, and Entrepreneur Magazine. ESPN did a feature on what Jesse is creating in Savannah. The Bananas have been awarded with Organization of the Year, Entrepreneur of the Year, Business of the Year, and won the CPL Championship in their first year. While they emphasize fun and entertainment at their baseball games, they also win. The Savannah Bananas currently have sold out every game since their first season, and have a waiting list in the thousands of tickets. In addition to that, Jesse discusses the wait list they have for players who want to come play for them, and for employees at a time when people are leaving companies in droves, Jesse points out that they are willing and able and wanting to come work for his organization. He released his first book, Find Your Yellow Tux: How to be Successful by Standing Out, in January of 2018 with a world book tour at Epcot. Jesse has been featured on over 500 podcasts and is an in-demand keynote speaker all over the country, sharing his fans-first experience on how to stand out, be different, and create raving fans, both customers and employees.   Jesse had a number of amazing insights during our conversation. Some of them include: “Swing hard in case you hit it” (8:45). “Every day I see things from my kids that blows me away” (10:15). “I make sure I do things all day that give me energy” (11:50). “No matter what, we are hungry for entertainment. We're hungry for fun.” (14:30). “The best creators are often just creating something for themselves” (15:00). “I am hungry to use this platform too entertain millions with something they've never seen before” (15:30). “Success is happiness and freedom and fulfillment. The ability to do what you want, when you want, to give you purpose (16:20). “I'm mostly just doing something I love, and it gives me energy” (16:30) “Every decision we make, we ask ourselves is it fans first?” (18:05). “How do we create things people have never seen before on a baseball field” (18:30). “We're not focused on winning, we're focused on having fun. And what happens when you focus on having fun? The wins take care of themselves” (21:20). “I've really pushed the envelope on hiring my weaknesses and growing that way” (28:15). “Our hiring process is over 3 months long” (30:00). “Our mission is fans first, entertain always” (31:00). “We call every person that buys merchandise from us and thank them. We call every person that buys a ticket from us and thank them” (34:10). “Every single morning I do 10 ideas” (37:00). “My biggest fear is irrelevance” (37:15). “My idea book is always on me” (38:30). “We don't believe people want to be managed. They want to be led” (45:00). “Everyone plays a role in our show” (46:15). “We've done lots of things that didn't work, but it's led us to all the things that do work” (51:00). “I'm not focused on the next quarter, I'm focused on the next quarter century” (51:15). “You do what gives you energy, and my energy list is sharing, creating, and growing” (53:40). “If you want to be lifted up, lift others up” (55:00).   Additionally, make sure to search “Yellow Tux” anywhere to learn more about Jesse and the Bananas!

The 2021 Ballpark Digest Awards season continues with a chat with the Savannah Bananas' Jesse Cole, winner of an Editor's Choice Award, who is single-handedly working to bring fun and a new spirit back into the increasingly staid world of baseball.Jesse Goldberg-Strassler and Kevin Reichard discuss the 2021 season with the ever-energetic Cole, the Man in the Yellow Tux. In a year when the baseball world is struggling to attract younger fans and shorten games, the Savannah Bananas struck a nerve with those younger fans. Attracting capacity crowds to Savannah's Grayson Stadium and embarking on a sold-out One City World Tour, Cole and his team upend all the rules of baseball a la the Harlem Globetrotters, attracting new fans to the sport thanks to plenty of national coverage from the likes of ESPN, Boston Globe and USA Today. That success has led to an Editor's Choice Award in the 2021 Ballpark Digest AwardsSome highlights of the discussion:·      Cole and his wife Emily launched the Bananas in 2016, coming to Georgia after running the Gastonia Grizzlies, formerly in the Coastal Plain League. The emphasis, they decided, would be on plenty of entertainment in the stands, with all-inclusive food and drink. After a slow start—two ticket sales in the first three months—the pair decided to go all-in on the entertainment side, a bet that paid off in a big way with sellout crowds, attracting fans from every state in the union. That led to Banana Ball, unique variations on the rules of baseball.·      Flush with that success at home, the Bananas took their show on the road for the One City World Tour, resulting in two sold-out games at Hank Aaron Stadium in Mobile, Ala. That success is leading to a longer World Tour in March 2022, featuring stops at spring-training, MiLB and MLB Partner League ballparks. The pro team hits the road and plays Banana Ball (which Jesse explains); the summer-collegiate team plays by normal baseball rules and snared a 2021 Coastal Plain League championship.·      Though the Bananas received plenty of mainstream media coverage, the key to the team's success means reaching fans where they are—and that means social media like TikTok, where the Bananas have 912,000 followers. What they get isn't a traditional social-media menu of game highlights and game-winning hits, but rather game highlights like infield karaoke, batters competing on stilts, and batters introducing themselves when coming up to bat. Yes, it's silly and more than a little absurdist, but it's entertaining as all heck. Anyone who hates batflips will be flummoxed; anyone who loves some flash in their baseball game will be entranced. Jesse Goldberg-Strassler is Voice of the Lansing Lugnuts and author of The Baseball Thesaurus and the upcoming second edition of The Football Thesaurus, both from August Publications. Kevin Reichard is editor of Ballpark Digest and founder/publisher at August Publications.
